Who cares about the top 50 schools? I went to Hofstra University, graduated with no debt (worked while going there and commuted by bus!) and I did just fine. I’ll be damned if I’ll subsidize someone else’s 4-year country club experience at a “top school”. Noting terrible will happen if only kids with rich parents went to them.
If you can earn $53k plus living expenses in after tax dollars all while going to school then you are not the typical college student. Someone would be subsidizing your education if you get out of that debt free.
